Xiuhu Lake, nestled within the Tianxia Yuyuan Scenic Area in Yuyao City, Ningbo, spans an area of 165 acres. This lake is celebrated for its stunning natural beauty, characterized by a sinuous lake shore and winding streams. The architectural layout of pavilions, towers, and buildings is masterfully done, and the harmonious arrangement of flowers, plants, and trees adds to the charm, making the place as enchanting as a beautiful maiden.
The ‘Xiu’ in Xiuhu is a homophone with ‘Xiu’ in ‘Xiuyan Jade,’ which is the material used for most of the landscape jade in Tianxia Yuyuan. This is the inspiration behind the name Xiuhu Lake.
Xiuhu Lake is home to three legendary fairy islands: Penglai, Yingzhou, and Fangzhang. The lake is open to visitors all year round and is accessible 24/7, making it a destination that can be enjoyed at any time.
